IGBO proudly and unequivocally supports all our transgender athletes across the United States. In the face of direct bigotry, IGBO will not recognize the USBC’s ban on transgender bowlers for our Las Vegas event in June 2025.
As an organization, we are actively engaging in discussions on this topic. We commit to keeping our members informed and advocating for their voices to be heard on this critical issue, both nationally and regionally. Our response to such hate will be thorough, data-driven, and unwavering.
We urge our members to remain composed and avoid emotional reactions that could hinder our efforts. Please report any incidents requiring immediate attention by emailing secretary@igbo.org.
Rob Silliman, President, IGBO
